What's the Chari-tea?

Ah the Charity Career Wobble - so common yet so little is it discussed. So I'm spilling the tea on what a Charity Career Wobble is, what it feels like and how to navigate it.

And the answer is not always to get a new job. Sometimes it’s a sideways move, a conversation with your manager, redesigning parts of your role, finding new development opportunities or simply giving yourself enough space to work out what you actually want.

☕ This month’s free online Chari-tea Talk is all about the Charity Career Wobble, where we’ll be talking through some of these questions together. You can sign up here - https://whatsthecharitea.myflodesk.com/tm7rnwtemo

I’m also opening the waitlist for my Charity Career Reset, a small four-week group programme for charity people who want some proper time, structure and support to get clear on what they want from their career and create a plan for what comes next. Places are very limited so join the waitlist now to learn more and get first access to tickets as soon as they go on sale - https://whatsthecharitea.myflodesk.com/ny3yr4kpbm

A bit of a voice note of an episode but I just needed to get my thoughts out on the situation with the closures of Papyrus (and also Reach Volunteering) and the impact redundancies, restructures and job uncertainty has on so many of us.

I'm holding a free Chari-tea Talk specifically for charity people who find themselves facing these issues - you can sign up below:

This episode features the incredible Stef Sword-Williams, author of ‘F*ck Being Humble’ and ‘Career Comedown’, and professional development speaker. As well as all this she founded a community support group called, This Might Help, offering support to those caring for people with mental health difficulties.I was delighted to have Stef on the show and discuss her experiences, insights and thought leadership that we in the nonprofit sector can utilise in our work. We talk about the importance of asking for help, the difference between capacity and capability, why creativity is one of the greatest skills we need, and what to do when your career no longer serves you.
